What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
Care, curiosity and determination are the values that permeate this highly inclusive, happy school. Together, pupils and adults create a learning environment where all can thrive. Pupils encourage each other and are kind. They take responsibility for themselves and for one another. Pupils feel safe and can be themselves. They meet the very high expectations the school sets for them. Pupils find learning exciting. In lessons, they enjoy working hard, both independently and in groups. They achieve well. Outdoor learning is a priority. The 'calm corner' and forest school help to promote pupils' physical and emotional well-being. Pupils love playing together outside and get on with each other extremely well. 'Markeaton MINDS' is the school's exceptional approach to developing pupils' learning habits and character. For example, 'M' stands for 'more than just me'. Pupils show this when they collaborate as learners or contribute to the life of the school. Pupil captains and champions organise activities, assemblies and clubs for others. They are positive role models. Parents and carers unanimously recommend the school. They praise the school's welcoming, caring ethos. Parents of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) value the school's work to support these children and their families.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not provide pupils with enough opportunities to practise using and applying what they have learned. Consequently, pupils do not always develop their knowledge and skills as much as they could. The school should ensure that the work pupils are given allows them to secure and deepen their understanding across the curriculum.
